What Are The Symptoms Of Sinusitis
March 20, 2009
Though an extremely common disorder, the symptoms of sinusitis often vary from one person to another. In some people, all the different symptoms of sinusitis get manifested, where as some others have only a couple of them. Stuffy and runny nose is the most common symptom of sinusitis.
In case of chronic sinusitis, a clear and thin discharge occurs from the nose. Acute sinusitis is characterized by the flow of thick yellow or green discharge that is sometimes tinged with blood.
Many sinusitis patients suffer from respiratory irregularities such as sneezing and coughing. Some people also get severe pain on their nose bridge. Headache that accompanies sinusitis commonly gets aggravated in the morning. It gets worsened as the person bends forward or moves up in an elevator.
Pain at all the facial joints and also within the eyes is a symptom seen in patients suffering from acute sinusitis. In some cases, the nostrils get blocked as a consequence of sinusitis. In such a case, gentle massaging of the facial joints will help in bringing forth the stuffed up mucus.
Reduced sense of taste and smell, itchy nose and eyes, bad breath, pain within the roof top etc are some of the other commonly found symptoms. Less common symptoms of sinusitis include earache, feeling of fullness within the ear, sore throat etc.
The voice of the affected person sometimes turns hoarse as well. Swelling of the eyes is yet another rare symptom which indicates that the sinus attack has spread to the eyes as well. Some people experience a feeling of tenderness behind the ears as a result of mucus accumulation within the Eustachian tubes of the ear.
Severe headache along with vomiting is yet another symptom which requites immediate medical attention. In such a case, the sinus infection is likely to have spread to the brain and might lead to the development of meningitis.
